Quiet off bench Forsberg generated one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich.

Impact Forsberg came off the bench for 21 minutes Saturday and failed to get much done. The attacking midfielder has seen consistent playing time due to injuries to those ahead of him on the depth chart, but has fallen out of favor when all options are available. Forsberg's depth role will likely continue with Dominik Szoboszlai and Dani Olmo fit and available to close out the Bundesliga.

Impact Forsberg got back on the scoresheet with his first assist since Feb. 25. The attacking midfielder has actually seen consistent playing time of late, but just hasn't been able to get on the scoresheet too frequently. Through 26 appearances (14 starts) Forsberg has earned six goals and four assists, putting him on pace for one of his most productive seasons since 2016/17.

Impact Forsberg picked up a thigh injury in the second half of Saturday's win against Eintracht Frankfurt, in which he had a hand in both of his side's goals. The injury isn't expected to be serious, and he seems on track to be fully fit by Friday's clash with Dortmund.

Scores and assists versus Frankfurt Forsberg scored one goal from two shots and assisted another from his only chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Frankfurt.

Impact Forsberg did a great job to help them earn three points at home, first assisting Timo Werner in the sixth minute before scoring himself in the 40th. The midfielder now has five goals and three assists in the season. He also made one tackle (won) during the match before subbing off with a thigh injury in the second half.

Impact Forsberg scored once on his only shot to get on the scoresheet for Saturday's one-sided win.

Assists Saturday Forsberg assisted once to go with zero corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Werder Bremen.

Impact Forsberg provided one assist, his second in 12 appearances on just his sixth chance created. The attacking midfielder has had a mixed season to say the least with limited playing time and limited success in that playing time. Forsberg simply doesn't offer the brilliance he has in previous seasons, and heading into the break he has created six chances, and put just three shots on goal.

Nets off bench Forsberg scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-1 victory versus SC Freiburg.

Impact Forsberg scored his second Bundesliga goal in his 11th appearance, this time off the bench. The attacking midfielder has entirely fallen out of the starting XI, but still sees consistent playing time off the bench, and would be the first option to fill in for injuries. With Dani Olmo back in the first team squad Forsberg's week-to-week upside is heavily limited, though he seems to have held onto a role on set-pieces.

Impact Forsberg scored for the second straight game, and the first time in domestic competition during Saturday's win.

Six goals Forsberg scored six goals and provided two assists throughout 31 appearances (20 starts) in the Bundesliga.

Impact Forsberg scored six goals right around his totals from recent years, though his playmaking seemed to take a hit, as Christopher Nkunku became the focal point of the Leipzig attack. Forsberg has found himself lost in the depth of talent that Leipzig have in attacking midfield and isn't the consistent starter he once was.
